RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively study the clinical efficacy and safety of sulbactam sodium in treatment of extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(XDRAB) infection. METHODS: Collect cases of XDRAB infection treated with sulbactam Sodium in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2016. Basic information of patients, infection sites, therapeutic strategies, drug combination, clinical outcomes and adverse reactions were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: A total of 7 cases were collected, including 4 cases of pulmonary infection, 2 cases of intracranial infection, 1 case of abdominal infection, therapeutic strategies for sulbactam sodium-based combination therapy. The total mortality rate was 42.8%; 1 case showed adverse drug reactions may correlated with sulbactam sodium. CONCLUSION: Mortality associated with XDRAB infection is high, and the clinical outcome is associated with host factors, because this article included in the number of cases is less, so difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of sulbactam sodium. Sulbactam sodium can be associated with other antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of XDRAB infection and provided more choices.
RESUMO
Periodontitis is a chronic infective disease characterized as the destruction of the supporting tissues of the teeth. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, which are ideal adult stem cells for the regeneration of supporting tissues, may play important roles in restoring the structure and function of the periodontium and in promoting the treatment of periodontal disease. As a consequence, the characteristics, especially osteogenic differentiation mechanism, of these stem cells have been extensively investigated. The regulation of the physiological behavior of these stem cells is associated with BMAL1 gene. This gene is a potential treatment target for periodontal disease, although the specific mechanism remains inconclusive. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of BMAL1 gene and its ability to regulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells.
